31. GWD25-Q31

 

New items developed for automobiles in the 1997 model year included  a safer air bag, which, unlike previous air bags, eliminated the possibility that a burst of smoke would appear when the bag inflated, and making an   already terrified passenger think the car was on fire.

 

A.      inflated, and making

 

 

 

B.       inflated, so that it could make

 

 

 

C.      inflated and made

 

 

 

D.      inflated and make

 

 

 

E.       inflated to make

答案给的E, 为什么D不对呢

而且to do 不是有目的的含义在里面吗,这个气囊引爆应该是一个突发事件不带有make passenger think the car was on fire这层目的吧?

求高人指教啊

防止气囊膨胀引起的烟，以及（and）防止这种烟给乘客带来着火的假象

烟和带来假象没有目的关系

只有两种关系，要么并列关系，也就是 would appear... and (would) make

要么就是伴随结果关系，would appear...., making...这种烟出现造成了什么什么的结果

同意楼主观点选D作正确答案。

假如E是正确答案，那么代入后半句为a burst of smoke would appear when the bag inflated to make an
                        already terrified passenger think the car was on fire.这样可翻译为当气囊膨胀使乘客想起汽车着火的时候，一股烟将会冲出来。试想，气囊的膨胀怎么会使乘客想起汽车着火呢？

当然是D答案代入后句子翻译为“当气囊膨胀时，一股烟将会冲出来并使乘客想起汽车着火”。

这道题目我终于想明白了

答案还是E

New items developed for automobiles in the 1997 model year included
    a safer air bag, which, unlike previous air bags, eliminated the possibility
        that a burst of smoke would appear when the bag inflated, and making an
    already terrified passenger think the car was on fire.

A.      inflated, and making

B.       inflated, so that it could make

C.      inflated and made

D.      inflated and make

E.       inflated to make

posibility后边用一个that从句修饰, 但是划掉that从句之后作者真正想说的的 possiblity to make an already terrified  passenger think...

NND......GMAC就是喜欢这么阴险的考句子,迂回了18圈把一个事情说明白.

这道题不是选D么？

possibility that， 不是possibility to do啊。appear和make平行。

一点愚见：
如果是eliminated the possibility (that....) to make an already terrified passenger think...会让句子有歧义。是减少这种possibility来让人们认为车着火了呢？还是减少这种会让人们认为车着火的可能性呢？我觉得还是D好！

lindadinger

that是限定性定于从句，意思不能随便去掉的说

xiliuhuang

同意选E

这句话中最关键的问题是把壮语when the bag inflated提前了，如果把壮语放到句子最后，就容易理解得多了。

eliminated the possibility that a burst of smoke would appear to make an
   already terrified passenger think the car was on fire when the bag inflated。

不能用and 是因为用to 强调了烟雾出现的作用（危害）。比如，我们上学为了找工作与我们上学和找工作的意思是不同的。

antiquarks

eliminated the possibility [that a burst of smoke would appear (when the bag inflated )to make already terrified passenger think the car was on fire].
appear to do

最关键的是， 如果答案是D选项，意思就变成了a burst of smoke make 乘客惊慌，不符合逻辑啊
